AMARILLO, Texas — Jasmine Crockett has opened the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate primary with a commanding early advantage, according to new internal polling released by her campaign.
The poll, conducted by HIT Strategies, surveyed 1,005 likely Democratic primary voters across Texas and shows Crockett leading her closest opponent by 13 percentage points. The survey carries a margin of error of ±3.21 percent and indicates that Crockett is approaching the 50 percent threshold needed to secure the nomination outright.
According to the campaign, Crockett leads across every major demographic group and in all regions of the state, positioning her as the early frontrunner in the race.
Terrance Woodbury, principal at HIT Strategies, said the results align with previous public polling and reflect a broad-based coalition of support.
“HIT Strategies used a gold-standard methodology, so there is no doubt about who is leading this race,” Woodbury said. “Across every key demographic and in every region of Texas, Jasmine Crockett is leading with just under the 50 percent of the vote she will need to win this Democratic primary. This poll confirms what nearly every public poll has shown—that she is the best-positioned candidate to both win the primary and rebuild and expand the Democratic electorate needed to capture this U.S. Senate seat.”
Crockett, who has been in the race just over a month, emphasized her aggressive early campaign schedule while continuing her duties in Congress.
“I’ve been in this race for a little over a month while still showing up for my district in Washington,” Crockett said. “On the weekends, I’ve been pounding the pavement every chance I get—we’ve already done more than 30 events in over 15 cities, and that’s just over the last two weekends alone.”
She added that the campaign has already mobilized volunteers across the state, including participation in nearly two dozen Martin Luther King Jr. Day parades.
“This campaign will show up all across Texas—urban, suburban, and rural—because this coalition is for everyone who’s had enough,” Crockett said. “The system is broken. We see middle-class families paying more in taxes than billionaires, communities struggling to access healthcare and basic benefits, and working people being told there’s ‘not enough’ while the wealthy continue to profit.”
Crockett framed her candidacy as a departure from traditional political norms, positioning herself as a fighter voters can trust.
“I refuse to accept politics as usual,” she said. “Voters are looking for leaders they know and fighters they trust in this moment. That cuts across every demographic, because we’re all in this together. Texans know I’m Texas tough—and we’re going to win this together.”
